Rugby Union: Rejuvenated Orrell

Oct 24 2007 by Andrew Stratton, Liverpool Daily Post

ORRELL ANVILS are back in harness this season after a troubled 2006-07 campaign not helped by the demise of the main Orrell club.

The Anvils, in their latest outing, upstaged South Lancashire/ Cheshire Two leaders Sefton with a 25-7 away victory.

Wallasey missed a gilt-edged opportunity to go top when they lost 18-15 at Crewe and Nantwich.

Warrington and Southport both lost but Ormskirk beat Oswestry 25-13.

St Edwards have found their feet in Division Three, demolishing Ellesmere Port 54-8. Peter Stephenson earned three tries.

Prenton, who have struggled this season, figured in a 25-25 thriller against Eagle while Mossley Hill took the cross river derby at Parkonians 24-10 as they put a horror cup show the previous week firmly into the background.

Port Sunlight beat St Mary’s 34-32 in a tense Division Four match. Capenhurst whipped Congleton 47-7 but there were heavy defeats for West Park Warriors and Merseyside Police.
